CAN YOU HELP?
FAST LUXEMBOURG is currently seeking information on the whereabouts of WASILA Philippe Stanislas Antoine , who is wanted in connection with an investment scam. In 2013 and 2014, WASILA allegedly defrauded investors of approximately €5,4 million by presenting himself falsely as a successful businessman and lawyer.
To earn the trust of potential investors, WASILA portrayed a lavish lifestyle and presented himself as a wealthy businessperson. He further claimed to be the director of an alleged investment fund, promising substantial returns through an innovative project involving the development of an autonomous drone.
Under these false pretenses, WASILA convinced multiple investors to entrust him with funds, assuring them that their money would be invested into this promising project. However, it has since come to light that the invested funds were never allocated to the drone project. Instead, WASILA established a web of opaque companies and foreign bank accounts to misappropriate the investors' money, using the funds to support his private lifestyle.
Investigations revealed that WASILA was neither a licensed lawyer nor a registered investment manager in Luxembourg or any other jurisdiction. The supposed investment fund, was never recognized by Luxembourg's financial regulator, the “Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier”. WASILA lacked the necessary authorizations to manage or oversee an investment fund.
On the 17th April 2024, an European Arrest Warrant and an International Arrest Warrant were issued against WASILA Philippe.
He was born in Luxembourg and lived here for many years.
